flowInterfaceLostPackets
Module: FLOW-METER-MIB
OID (symbolic): FLOW-METER-MIB::flowInterfaceLostPackets
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets the meter has lost for this interface. Such losses may occur because the meter has been unable to keep up with the traffic volume.
What is flowInterfaceLostPackets?
Counts packets the meter has failed to account for on this interface, typically because traffic volume exceeded what the meter could keep up with. A rising count here means flow statistics for this interface are becoming less complete and the meter may need a higher sample-rate divisor.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowInterfaceLostPackets
Get a specific instance (index 1):
